💡 Day 1 of 25Days of Product with Abhishek Exploring the Untapped Potential of Catering Services in India The Indian catering market exceeds ₹1 lakh crore annually, growing at 10–12% CAGR. From weddings (₹50,000–₹75,000 crore) to corporate events (₹10,000–₹15,000 crore), cultural festivals (₹5,000–₹7,000 crore), social gatherings (₹10,000–₹12,000 crore), and institutional catering (₹8,000–₹10,000 crore), the opportunities are massive. Platforms like Zomato could revolutionize this fragmented space by streamlining vendor discovery, offering standardized pricing, enabling customizable menus, and providing event management tools. A review system would build trust, while exclusive deals and app-only features prevent users from bypassing the platform. Revenue Potential exists for Contract as well as Non-Contract Catering Contract Catering: Regular revenue streams from institutions and corporate clients; potential to secure long-term partnerships with bulk discounts. Non-Contract Catering: High-value, one-time events like weddings and festivals offer lucrative commission-based opportunities. Zomato can capitalize through commissions, subscriptions, ads, and value-added services like logistics or analytics. With the right strategy, catering could become a high-growth vertical in the food tech industry. What are your thoughts on integrating catering into food tech? Let’s discuss it! 🚀

Interesting concept with pros and cons. The market potential is clear, but execution will be key. Zomato will need to carefully balance vendor interests, consumer expectations, and their own revenue model. Not impossible, but definitely challenging. 🤨

FINALLY someone sees the potential! The catering market is so fragmented and inefficient. An app that can streamline vendor discovery, pricing, and reviews is exactly what India needs. This could be a game-changer for both consumers and small catering businesses!

It's near impossible to do because these services do their maximum business in the shaadi season .... Most of the Venues or hotels provide contact of caters or do it by themselves

Catering is risky but reviews and transparency could make Zomato the Tinder of catering, matching you with perfect food partners for your big day

If Zomato cracks catering, it’s not just food delivery anymore, it becomes the one-stop shop for every foodie event in India.
